When we installed the etrailer brand # e98847 receiver hitch on a 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon, we found the receiver height to be right at 16 inches, as shown in the linked install video. The average trailer coupler height is around 16 inches, so a ball mount like # C45010 would be about right. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, I'd recommend # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118467.

I'll link you to installation instructions/videos for the hitch and the wiring harness recommended above.

The best trailer hitch we have available for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Curt Class III #C13410 because of its hidden crosstube design and superior black powder coat finish. The hidden design means only the 2" receiver is visible from…

Whenever the option is available, I'll always recommend choosing the 2 inch receiver over the 1-1/4 inch because the 2 inch has many more hitch mounted accessories available. The etrailer brand #e98847 and the Draw-Tite #76227 are both fine…
